It has come to a full circle to the point where an Indian Rishi Sunak becomes the Prime Minister of Great Britain. Before the Celebration goes off course, remember Obama Post-Racial U.S.A Boy if he was a Nigerian, Celebration could have sunk the world. |
Zombies, Obi is your Salvation. Which of the Presidential candidates has ever delivered to your fillage? Did you vote for Godwin Maduka who spent his own hard earned money to benefit the grassroots? I forgot, Nigeria do not vote for Activists. |
Face the truth. Most of us vote for those that will bleed Nigeria to death. You know it and I know it. Nigeria has never had patriotic politicians for a long time and we keep on voting to them to deliver. Which of the Presidential candidates has ever delivered, even to their home state. Allocations never get to the grassroots only tokens get to cronies. |
ATIKU WINS EVEN IF YORUBA & IGBO BOYCOTT OR CANCEL OUT THEIR VOTES Anyone that thinks a country that was flowing with milk and honey is going to get out of abject poverty soon, with the parade of these Presidential candidates, is a joker. Atiku, Tinubu and Obi have already told you what they are going to do. More of the same by selling off state asserts, becoming the only free open market in the world and turning the whole country into personal or family property. Let us face it, Activists will not be elected President because they lack experience in looting, terrorism, drug peddling and ritual sacrifice. General Buhari, regardless of party affiliation or loyalty, will vote for Atiku. He will also do everything possible to make sure the Fulani reign continues. Most Yoruba know that and will not play dead before or after the Election. The next Election is becoming irrelevant to the aspiration of southern and Middle Belt voters. The North has decided to continue their reign by tulasi. Who runs the government but the same people that paralyzed the same government. They all claim Government Business Is Nobody's Business. If Nigeria is run by ants big enough to throw darts on the board, we would have had a better country. After all, ants have an efficient system of division of labor by workers, soldiers and food providers while the queen becomes fat. Nigeria fell from grace to grass in one generation right in our lifetime. Though poverty increases crimes, a place without law and order breeds even more crimes. Criminals cannot be eliminated, this is why every society supports good moral behavior and law enforcement. Locally and worldwide we hear those that hardly accomplish any tangible tasks for their society, brag about how they made reputable men and women. We must thank them for the Sun that shines, otherwise Nigeria could have sunk below Nigeria! Presidential ambition of a few Southern candidates cannot override the aspiration of most people in the South. Most Nigerians are sick and tired of the same politicians that have converted the political system into a cash cow for their selfish interests. It is no longer a matter of who becomes the President. The most lucrative business in the country is the politics of do or die where terrorists are ruling. We must thank them for sinking a country into abject poverty. There is no doubt that the North Central region have woken up from their slumber after Danjuma gave up and implore them to defend themselves. The Governors from the area especially Plateau knew that a long time ago because they were ignored by Fulani military officers that were their subordinates when some were in the Army, as they had called for help. They became helpless watching the massacre of their people in the hands of armed Fulani. It is not surprising that the Buhari Government has already approved the AK-47 for Katsina Security men, his home state. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool playing to the gallery or part of the gangs that are going to use every military means to suppress the rest of Nigeria. Oh, that Katsina Security Forces were only invited for training. Just as those Boko Haram that were captured and released got reabsorbed into the Army for training on AK-47 l, abi. Yoruba across class and political spectrum believe that they must defend themselves against marauders prowling all over their land. Terrorists have gone out of their land to lay claim on other people's territory or home, while Yoruba seek no territorial amalgamation. Since Yoruba land is the only place where tolerance and accommodation flourish, it has been abused by their hosts with impunity. Governor Akeredolu must be commended for seeing the charade and chicanery of the Fulani plan after RUGA ranching in Southern land was rejected. He has raised the alarm for those that can perceive. If State Police is not created, there is an obvious vacuum for Amutekun and other law enforcement in each State to be easily overpowered by Fulani bandits. This charade is well beyond AK-47, Fulani herdsmen have no better weapons to control cows. It takes AK-47, no be so? When it comes to Yoruba Nation, the West has never been this unified. Yoruba hardly deliver block votes to any party. The closest to solid votes was for Awolowo. Even then, Yoruba in NCNC made it difficult before Akintola NNDP split Yoruba politicians. While Awolowo insisted on forming an Alliance with the Eastern Region, Akintola saw a better prospect with the North. Both sides failed, Yoruba must stand on its progressive culture. Others will join on our terms. Yoruba Nation is already going through the diplomatic process of getting out of Nigeria. The clock is moving faster to that goal than remaining in Nigeria. Yoruba land is the only place most Nigerians aspire to, feel safe and comfortable in. Even when Nigeria eventually split, more Nigerians will relocate to the West than other parts of the country. The irony is that Yoruba talents that should be utilized to make what used to be the most progressive enclave in Africa richer, are being sold into modern form of slavery abroad in the name of salvation. Those raising the aspiration of Igbo for President are right. Unfortunately, the Nigeria the Southern candidates would like to rule no longer exist. Unless they want to wait for another hundred years. Power has to go to those who have future stake in the country, not spent career politicians jumping from one house to another as representatives,governors, senators to President. As long as you they remain on government doles getting the highest remuneration in the world. Tinubu, a man who should be celebrating his obscure humble beginning to encourage the downtrodden, he cannot, because he graduated into a voracious caterpillar. He would rather ridicule the dignity of labor to hide his Insecurity complex. But then, it is not his fault since he gets enough Youths support, paying homage to his tainted legacy of avarice. Indeed, the reason Nigeria dropped to the lowest poverty level is the consequence of the choice we made of politicians leading the country. A country put on automatic cruise would have done a better job because these leaders intentionally sold our interest out to any willing bidders, in most cases for less than they are willing to pay.

Africans spend more of their time over the centuries defending their Empires, Continent and Civilization from slave raiders looking for cheap labor than capturing others as slaves. Looking for excuses to blame the victims for their own impoverished status is not even close to the reasons Africa remained impoverished. We must admit what it is true; that Africans must confront their own self-inflicted demons. Nevertheless, what do you call leaders who went outside the African Continent for odious loans, aid and pittance they pocket, using African natural resources as collateral? It must be noted that this dependence attitude is not limited to Africans, but we are the only Continent where we treat ourselves worse or sell less than outsiders are willing to pay us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQzBtwvJTj8 The first lady Italian incoming Far-right Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, had blasted France for how they underdeveloped African countries rather than making Africans wealthy at home.There is no way to sooth and justify greed and guilty conscience with tokens, pittance and crumbs. https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/312449/tokens-pittance-crumbs-loans-not-designed-to-rescue-afri.html |
TOKENS PITTANCE CRUMBS & LOANS NOT DESIGNED TO RESCUE AFRICA Africans spend more of their time over the centuries defending their Empires, Continent and Civilization from slave raiders looking for cheap labor than capturing others as slaves. Looking for excuses to blame the victims for their own impoverished status is not even close to the reasons Africa remained impoverished. We must admit what it is true; that Africans must confront their own self-inflicted demons. However, the outside enablers willing to aid and abet Vagabonds-In-Power in their self-interest, make progress regressive. Of course their self-interest comes before African interest, making African progress harder to achieve. Africans' main focus for survival has shifted to what others can do for us and less on what we can do for ourselves. It boils down to what an individual can use his God-endowed talents for, instead of victimizing his neighbors. Nevertheless, what do you call leaders who went outside the African Continent for odious loans, aid and pittance they pocket, using African natural resources as collateral? It must be noted that this dependence attitude is not limited to Africans, but we are the only Continent where we treat ourselves worse or sell less than outsiders are willing to pay us. The first lady Italian incoming Far-right Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, had blasted France for how they underdeveloped African countries rather than making Africans wealthy at home.There is no way to sooth and justify greed and guilty conscience with tokens, pittance and crumbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQzBtwvJTj8 Africans getting any of these foreign-aids to sell out their country are cutting their noses to spite their faces. This is how our Youths have been captured by selling themselves out to any country. The supply chain, like the food chain, is real and Africa remains at the bottom of the global feeding chain. Any country in other continents knows Africa is the place to go for cheap labor, materials and products. https://africafreak.com/apex-predators Animal Farm by George Orwell's revolt needs to happen within African countries before we can confront countries that keep Africa at the bottom of their "Food Chain". Call it sarcasm or irony when the same leaders ask for loan forgiveness from the lenders that know they cannot pay back; just to default on their land exporting talents. It gets worse, these leaders and their families spend the money exchanged recklessly in lending countries to boost foreign economy. Loan forgiveness is not in the interest of lenders. Tokens, pittance and aid that make them look good is in their interest. While global poverty has decreased considerably, it has slowed in sub-Saharan Africa as the face of Poverty has shifted from Asia; regardless of odious loans for lack of development. https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/march-2021-global-poverty-update-world-bank As long as we look to others to build a society that we cannot build for ourselves, we as a people, regardless of the hard working ones among us, will fall short as Africans. The reason is not far-fetched because as African conscientious achievers take two or three steps forward, losers drag us four or six steps backwards. No matter how much wealth is created in a family, nation or country, it only takes a few prodigals (Yoruba call Akotileta) to squander the wealth. We know them by their fake generosity and crocodile tears in sympathy with the poor while they ravage the spoils of poverty and war they created in the first place. They justify their actions by any means claiming the situation could have been worse but for them. Indeed, these soulless people and their local accomplices turn land that flows with milk and honey to barren land. We see them throw money and food into a crowd struggling to outdo one another. Whenever a man spends like a drunken sailor without thinking about how to replenish or increase the family wealth by investing in productive adventures, the family or country goes down the tube. The days of manna from heavens are gone and replaced by credit cards that get you hooked so that you can keep on paying back forever. It is one thing to obtain credit to buy a house as an investment to make you free of rent but to get credit to satisfy immediate avarice and expendable toys will make you a slave forever. The more you pay, the more you owe. Profit is essential for innovation, growth and a progressive society. On the other hand, the same Profit can be abused in the hands of obsessive individuals with greed and domineering behavior. While there are extreme, and many times, ulterior motives for Profit, the society culture determines excessive profit bordering on usury or criminality. There are individuals intentionally fabricating fake products to make profits. Fortunately, people do make money from great ideas and natural opportunities provided by needs in the community. We create abundant food supply from natural soil or energy from the sun. Science is always discovering and inventing ways to increase demand for products and services. As dedicated people work day and night to produce, swindlers of international proportions are looking for ways to defraud and deny hard working folks the sweat off their brow. Only a hungry man knows the pinch of death. Unless you are in his shoes, you do not know where it hurts. You can empathize with someone but sympathy is in the eyes of the suffering. When you empathize with the poor, basic needs like food, schools, means of sustenance are created to support one another and affordable shelter are planned with infrastructure. It is not handouts but creative selfless economic incentives where honor comes before money grab. Please do not be too hard on the poor for praising Stomach Infrastructure to satisfy the hunger of the day. Indeed, the reason for using hunger as a weapon in the first place is to control our behavior. Blame them for exchanging their votes for daily hunger in the hands of politicians to become hungry for the following four years. Hunger makes us cast unreasonable votes in order to gain from the moment without thinking of the consequences. Anyone that gets up in the day thinking about how he can dispossess neighbors of the fruit of their sweat and blood is a parasite. Only children, the weak and the old after their hard labor are supposed to depend on the society. Children watch and learn the culture of morality, hard work and responsibility from their communities. Most of the ones that behave accordingly build their society for the ones coming after them. Like every society, the ones falling by the wayside are not chosen to build their society. Source |
UNIFIED AFRICAN ARMY MUST INVADE TO RESCUE ONE ANOTHER FROM FULANI RULE There are open borders in most African countries but only for Fulani to consolidate the number of Fulani in individual African countries while the same borders are closed to other ethnic Africans. The reason is obvious but Africans have to develop similar ways to counter and neutralize their numbers. It is a strategic plan to dominate Africans the way Fulani dominate Hausa. We are already under Fulani invasion from other African countries. It took the combined forces of Arab to take Basra back when the Africans Zanj rebelled against the Abbāsid caliphal empire. They ruled ancient Iraq from 869 to 883 AD. The treatment meted out to Africans there is no different from to those of Fulani in African countries today. Unless Africans unite like the Arabs did then, the Fulani open borders for their people will overwhelm individual African countries. We must not forget that Nkrumah and Nigeria sent both financial and material support to African Liberation fighters in East and South Africa. The first coming of Jerry Rawlings reset the brain of Ghanaians to default. We had been unlucky in Nigeria because Nzeogwu had failed after ethnic traitors betrayed him. It does not explain the reason the giant of Africa has regressed from corruption to a terrorist state. Instead of begging the military or colonial masters to return, we must stand up against leaders used by outsiders as conduits the way Freedom Fighters did against colonial invaders. Everything this generation of leaders inherited from the Freedom Fighters including land of gold, diamond, milk, honey to mention a few have turned into a curse in the hands of our local vagabonds in power. They celebrate the abject poverty they created. Yes, we are already under Fulani invasion from other African countries. The least other African countries can do is to give refuge and encouragement to one another’s Liberation Fighters the same way Ghana and Nigeria did to East and South African Liberation Fighters. Nigerians are now fleeing their beloved local home to seek refuge. Nigerians that could not wait to return home from Europe and Americas have become economic refugees in hostile land. These generation of leaders are adept terrorists and religious fanatics fulfilling the ambitions of cave men outside Africa, rather than being true, even average statemen. Indeed, coming from Diaspora with better technological skills, know-how and as patriots is far better than the recent botched invasion of Haiti. Everything the Militritians touched in Africa, have been made worse than they met each sector. There are Africans in the Diaspora that are so boiling mad, some of them are planning to invade, seize power and set the brains of corrupt Africans rights. Some of those planning to invade are children of Africans watching their parents helplessly abroad longing to go back home but cannot because of the rotten greed created by some. They join their parents in physical assault of African politicians wasting their country's resources abroad. Some African countries used to go overseas to recruit needed technical personnel home for tasks that the locals cannot perform. Unfortunately, this was abused to the point where local and foreign companies continue to prefer foreign workers in this day and age for jobs that can be filled by locally trained graduates. While some of the reasons for not hiring locally may be justified, no reason can explain discriminating against local graduates in their own country. It got worse, contracts performed by foreigners are inflated with kickbacks. Even African graduates trained abroad are avoided for fear of revealing or protesting against their kickbacks. Then, it is not surprising that projects and contracts that have been ongoing before Independence are still renewed and staffed by foreign workers called "expatriates". Some of these expatriates lack the qualifications of local graduates. We must face the fact that the most promising country in Africa deemed to become a Regional Power has failed miserably. Nigeria went from the country that sent Peacekeeping Forces, not only to African countries but to the rest of the world. Indeed, when colonial powers abruptly left other African countries in shambles like the French did not only in Guinea but had done in the last century in Haiti, African countries relied on Nigerian professionals to fill the void. Africans need another Nkrumah in Nigeria for Regional Power more than ever. Everyday, great Africans are born at home, but are suffocated by those with selfish interest. They cannot survive where Nkrumah, Zik, Awolowo Lutheli did. It is true that we are in a world of extremists displaying their power to capture the world but the same Africans that survived 500 years of darkness must rise again for the sake of our youths and children. We all have our individual talent to contribute, no matter where you are since God did not send all of us out without clues or talents. We are just blinded by greed, self-interest without foresight. When we seek help with all the talent and resources God bestowed on Africa, we are demonstrating our penchant for readymades instead of developing or building on our own. Unfortunately, this has become an infectious disease caught by our children. Nevertheless, if Nigerians cannot rescue Nigeria out of greed, selfishness in high places that corner our resources without ethnic bickering; we must allow individual local areas to develop on their own like the old Western Region. Today no allocation is safe before it reaches the people that need it most at the grassroots level. Compare Nigeria's goodwill then, to other countries, to the reckless Fulani marauders invited with open borders from the North while the Southern borders are closed to our relatives. Unless Africans rise up against these Usman Dan Fodio minorities ravaging our countries by consolidated forces in each country, African countries that refuse to wage concerted war against them will fall to their whims one country at a time by conquest crumbling under their tactics.

Ebi2233:Obi is on leave of absence from APGA, he has not left. Get the difference? |
No Single Ethnic Group can and will Carry Nigeria --- A tree can not make a forest. Nigeria has to be carried by each and every Ethnic group in our Country for the sake of Africa, for the sake of blacks in this world. I pride myself as a dedicated Nigerian but sometimes I find it easier to be an African. I must confess that I was ticked off by the recent headline that Yoruba have betrayed the Igbo AGAIN. The fact is Yoruba have never betrayed any Ethnic group, have never sought territorial advantage or dominance on others’ soil and have never craved the ambition to rule others in their domain. Indeed the Yoruba, who coalesced from many African Ethnic groups by long tradition of accommodation and tolerance, has found itself in a position of fighting to retain its own in Nigeria. The statement Awolowo made still stands today. Yoruba can not and will not carry Nigeria alone. If the Hausa or the Fulani or the Kanuri decides to leave Nigeria today, Nigeria has lost its meaning. If the Ijaw or Ibibio or the Idoma or Urhobo decides to leave Nigeria today, Nigeria has no relevance to the world. It has to be seen as the beginning of the end. As secondary school children we cried when we were told we would need passport to cross to Biafra. How could our brothers and sisters suddenly become foreigners to us? I watch with dreaded sympathy how families are separated by wars of demarcation all over the world. Right here in the Delta and North-East between Nigeria and Cameron, families cry and protest about separation. Heated discussion any where does not bother me. Highly coded message from people who are supposed to be responsible leaders to generate fear and hatred pissed me off. I have decided to agree to disagree on Awolowo with some of my brothers. Only hypocrites who knew the effort of Awolowo through his helicopter campaign all over Nigeria and his desire to make Nigeria what he made the West will doubt his sincerity. How can anyone grudge a man for that? All his life, he insisted on working with every Nigerian and the Igbo in particular loosing some of his colleagues in the process. He finally gave up his campaign when his life was threatened in the East. This same man has been portrayed as ethnocentric, and worse still a racist. Somehow, it was traced from the time educated Yoruba dominated elite Nigeria Youth Movement in the thirties and forties when Awolowo supported Ernest Ekoli, an Ijaw and Zik supported Chief Samuel Akinsanya. The fact that Awo supported Ekoli and not Zik turned him into tribalism champion. Anyone can read whatever they want into that. If it was about the war, Yoruba did not declare war against Biafra. If it was about the war, Zik the biggest Biafran asset deserted, refusing to destroy the house he helped built. So it has to be about what Awo did and nobody else could have done for the Yoruba. He offered to do the same for every Nigerian but was “the best President that we never had.” In a way, attacking Awolowo as a leader that was chosen and loved by the Yoruba is one thing, lumping him together with Obasanjo that was chosen and elected by those who denied Yoruba their chosen leaders is chicanery. There are brothers and sisters claiming that the only stars in Obasanjo’s administration are Igbo. How wonderful? It was only yesterday that all Nigerians of goodwill claimed that Igbo were excluded from the scheme of power in Nigeria. This may not be enough, but it was about time. Does he get any credit? I doubt it. I saw the picture of powerful women of all Ethnic groups posing after some meeting. They looked glamorous, confident and proud. When was the last time we had so many women in the cabinet? Does Obasanjo get any credit? I doubt it. So no matter what a Yoruba man does, chosen by Yoruba or by them, forget about credit and do your best. One may have to thank his maker if the same people who got appointed by Yoruba do not come back and attack. A colleague of mine thought I was naïve to have given away jobs. Each time Yoruba will is twisted; they look for a clever Yoruba lawyer to interpret two third. How many Yoruba supported Akinjide interpretation of two third and to whose benefit? He defended his client vigorously as a lawyer should. 2005 http://magazine.biafranigeriaworld.com/farouk_martins/ |

☰ logo If Looters Had Built On Old African Technologies Aug 27, 2022 | What discovery, institution, plant or industry has these billionaire politicians established? They pick and choose billionaires that make returns as kickbacks. It is an insult on African Youths' intelligence when those choosing politics for retirement home promised to be the one to revitalize the economy after destroying the same all their lives. When Virgin Airlines could not stomach the money, shares and partnerships demanded in kickbacks from politicians that had absolutely nothing to contribute, they ran out of Nigeria. Though, Airlines are still making money, they cannot take their profits out forcing local travelers going abroad to purchase their tickets in the U.S dollars. Intellectual properties have been patented as the most guarded secrets because of the billions collected when copied and improved for local use. What is lost in the claims at the World Trade Organization and the local courts is how these technologies move from one country to another. The Americans are making billions from these claims as they accused the Japanese and the Chinese of stealing their intellectual properties. The fact is that the Americans stole intellectual properties from Europe. Before then, the Greeks and the Romans referred to Northern Europeans as Barbarians because of their lack of skills in Science, Technologies and Arts. The irony is that the Science, Technologies and Arts were learned from Upper and Lower Egypt. Yet, privileged Africans with little or no tangible businesses are bleeding the Central Bank of foreign currencies. African countries have always produced the richest brain and mind in the world. Voracious acquisition of money is not limited to Africans but those that eat and chop alone with nothing to show for it must die miserably alone. We are still stuck in the Feudal system the world Far Right groups are promoting. Africa is directly under the sun in the tropics. If only one of those billionaires looters got ambitious and invested in Solar Energy years ago before other cold continents caught on, Africa would have been the place to import Solar Technology the intellectual property from. The same is true of the most arable land in the world begging other continents for food. Foreigners use starving African kids to start charitable organizations while they pocket over 90 percent of the donations. Gadhafi created the Great Man-Made River in the desert to supply fresh water and green agriculture for his people. A great project that should have benefited his people for over 100 years has been almost abandoned after they killed him. If he had successfully acquired Nuclear Technology from Pakistan, nobody would have dared touch him or kill him like a dog. The Mansa Kanka Musa and the Queen of Sheba of the world came from our part of Africa, they were admired for their waste. Almost every African knows what our problems are but solutions that stare at us in the face cannot be implemented. Take the case of crude and refined oil. It does not take much brain to figure out and understand that a country that produces oil needs working and efficient refineries to be self-sufficient in refined petroleum products. But African oil producing countries cannot account for what they produce or refine all the oil they need for domestic consumption. Indeed, there are Africans sabotaging internal and local refineries to make them incapable of operating efficiently. Local Navy, with approval of politicians in high places are colluding with foreign international shipping lines to steal crude oil on the high seas. Gold and diamond are mined with local laborers by foreign countries landing helicopters to fly out raw minerals with the full cooperation of local Chiefs. https://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2019/09/15/saudi-arabia-monitors-every-drop-of-oil-from-a-single-room/ VID-20220827-WA0004.mp4 God, no matter your religion, endows every human with different talents. Some of us work harder hiding talents than we do exploiting God given endowment and natural resources because we prefer what others have. These are self-inflicted curses out of inferiority complex, criminality and foolish greed that does not benefit us in the short or long term basis. The rush to deposit even legitimate local profit abroad that could have alleviated poverty at home, cannot be sustained at this rate. We are willing to empty the local Treasuries at home to spend in a hostile environment where our last and next generation can never be comfortable. This is why Africa has been dying for the past 500 years. It is one thing for others to exploit you in their best interest but it takes useful fools to exploit his people against his own interest. Those who improve, built on crude technologies of Upper and Lower Egypt, of the Black Heads of Sumeria or Chinese gunpowder are the beneficiary of today's Supreme Powers. They worked to develop them. Yet, the loot is not plowed back into legitimate ventures where they can be productive. The 1.6 billion donated to extreme far Right was recently exposed in the United States. What else was it used for other than to use a powerful and loud minority to dominate and stifle the votes of the majority. Their point is to compete with the Left donations that benefit liberal democracy. Where are the liberal donations in Africa to improve the lives, votes and freedom of the majority? Look at private schools. While public schools are languishing by the grace of politicians that refuse to fund them, their private schools including universities are faring better. The same is true about private hospitals. St. Nicholas Hospital was established by a former Federal Minister of Health. It is now one of the leading hospitals in Africa. Most Africans cannot imagine the amount of money stolen from Nigeria. They are not captured by Forbes list of billionaires. Acquisition of money in itself becomes a game of greed used for power, a double edge sword. The money can be used to benefit mankind or it can be used to intensify subjugation. Africans and others have been exposed with their offshore dark money but donation to a cause to improve the life of the masses as Mo Ibrahim does is African problem. If the civilization of Egypt and Sudan were not invaded and Africa was not sent into the Dark Ages for 500 years, imagine the development that could have been improved on and built upon. However, Africans for immediate individual selfish gains they decided to help satisfy the selfish interest of other continents instead of improving their own "crude" Arts, Science and Technologies.

Which country is stupid enough like most African countries to educate you to compete with them? As long as Nigeria cherish foreign education, local schools including universities will remain a mess. You will lose your children to their culture while their parents empty all foreign incomes from Central Bank to train them how to "tame" Africans back home. What is the difference between you and your grand grand that sold gold and diamond for mirrors, eh? |

Those were the days o! |
Authoritarians Massage Privileged Minority To Rule The Majority Listen to article Africans scholars could not have predicted what happened in Western Nigeria known as Akintola Taju in 1962 could also happen in the United States of America. The United States democracy could have tumbled but for the courage of one man. It is really agonizing to realize how fragile democracy is. The greatest democracy in the world we took for granted almost succumbed to calamitous precipitous civilian coup. Nobody, no matter their differences with Americans, believed it could happen in America. No one wants America to fall on its face despite its vestiges of slavery except those rivals that have not demonstrated the goodwill associated with the best moral principles the whole world admires. China, Russia and not even Britain can replace the majority of Americans' goodwill. There is a difference between tolerance and handing a country back to the original owners. The so-called Liberals are not willing to go that far. Yet, the Conservatives seize it for their campaign. The election of President Obama caught many by surprise and some exceptional moral characters became complacent thinking that it was the end of racism and disadvantageous relationships. They never anticipated the backlash that fought back to retake America from the immigrant advocates and extreme left-wing that wanted to hand America back to the American Indians. Forget part of Mexico and Alaska Russia that sold land to America and wanted it back. |
Fulani are taking Southern Nigeria and Middle Belt piece by piece the same way Hausa Seven States were taken over. |

VeeVeeMyLuv:No wonder the author of the article begs you to back home to traditional African family values. Do a little research and find out who gave Da Rocha, Pa Ajao and Pa Ojukwu a job. I guess you have never heard of Jaja of Opobo. If you are so good and educated, why are you looking for somebody to exploit your talent when you can employ others? |
https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/309589/only-africa-traditional-family-values-can-solve-our-moral-de.html There is no society that can afford to lose the morality of their traditional families without paying for the consequences. People who forgo their culture for others’ are walking dead. The morality in the society is enhanced by the culture of traditional families, partnership or courtship. A Man would not display repulsive habits with the knowledge of his lady or daughter just as women would not, in the vicinity of their men and sons. The new generation are at a point when they wonder aloud if getting married will enhance their lives or impede happiness later. The number of young people afraid of marriage is increasing. We are witnessing a high rate of divorce out of irreconcilable differences between parents. The children that are most affected by their parents' decision are taking their time before jumping into the same type of marriage as adults because it is the right way to avoid opportunists. The same parents that guided them out of reach to boys and girls would come asking for their partners. Most ladies put on a defensive attitude but desperation is not the answer; humility and modest expectation is. Some may get completely turned off, marry older men, become second wife or seek comfort in friends. While we may have our reservations about traditional marriage, we cannot justify the aberration of the alternatives. The same is true of men. If they could not get ladies to marry, they turned to older or women of virtue for relief. How for do naoh? There is fulfillment and satisfaction in the right partnership between men and ladies. Prenuptial agreement does not guarantee a successful coupling or marriage but it gives a peace of mind for each partner by allaying fear of house snatchers. The problem is children from single parents with only a mother or father at home have to be highly motivated to be as disciplined as most children with both parents at home. Africa used to be a place where it takes a village to raise a child. Life is short, do not set up children against partners to gain love in social experiments. Prenuptial is not common in African society but cultural norms are influential. Once out of the village, home or Africa, anything could happen. A lady was asked to swear before leaving her village, it did not make a difference one way or the other. Common interest is stronger. Another factor is that ladies are better educated with better prospects than their mothers. They are more assertive and can support their children, even as single parents. On the other hand, men are weary of confrontational ladies and prefer the type of lady their mothers were. Even those mothers become indifferent when the children are grown. They enjoy the support of their children for or against their fathers. So fathers are encouraged these days to be prepared and save some money for their old age instead of spending their last penny on the family. Though men feel fulfilled earlier in their marriage, later years may not be so comfortable. There used to be a time women stayed in abusive marriage for the sake of their children. They saw it as a sacrifice to bring up stable families that have both parents in charge to prevent kids from going astray. It is difficult enough bringing up children with a father and mother at home but more onerous as a single parent. Those days of women's perseverance are limited if they are supported by grown kids. Still, the loss of cultural family values produce dysfunctional societies. When children get older, their family experience influences their decision whether to marry their classmates, wait until they are more experienced or a little wealthier to be able to take care of their own family. The problem here is that as they wait, the ladies become older, apart from the years spent preparing for careers. They may miss out on their classmates or cohorts that are looking for younger partners. Choice could be constrained to younger men or older men before the biological clock runs out for both men and women, if they want their own kids. Money has changed us from being our brothers' keepers to our brothers' albatross. If we do not know where we are going, some of us remember how we got here. We remember that no matter how rich you are, nobody would hand over their daughters unless investigation turns out to be a man from a family of honor. Today, the only good name is money, and laundering; no matter the source. Criminals are products of individual families because of failure, indifference or neglect. African cultures demand that we be our brothers' keeper if it takes a village to raise a child. Invest in all locally, not disproportionately on foreign school fees on privileged children. Those children will become adults, haunt one another and their communities, no matter where they are. We should not be surprised when the children we have in our communities become adults, embarrassing or disgraced ambassadors outside our country or continent. |
ONLY AFRICA TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES CAN SOLVE OUR MORAL DECADENCE Most of the problems plaguing our community today start at home. The Solutions are not in the hands of the privileged but in individuals' hands. Dysfunctional homes produce uncultured children that turn into adults. Family values begin at home before it can enhance or infect the society. This is why most cultures demand investigation before courtship to avoid embarrassment after marriage that will haunt the children and society. It is the reason we are limited to the lesser of the worst evils. Folks without pride in their cultural values harbor insidious monstrosity. If we want moral leadership, we must begin with moral children! We must go back to revitalize our family cultural roots. Many of us do not go back to our villages to marry anymore or swear that nobody would dare steal from his village coffers. It is now crystal clear that everything that shines is not gold. After all, we still trade gold for mirrors like our fathers. Nobody or country gets rich on credit cards to pay debts. Indeed, those hypocrites we wanna be like, emulate and worship as Saints are worse than us in their true color. Parents are rightly worried about the tendency of their children to delay or skip marriage. Girls are traditionally young men's incentives to accomplishments and good moral behavior. A boy or girl with good prospects is an inspiration to the family and community. Most people want to court, engage or marry partners from good homes hoping the influence would strengthen theirs. Suitable Solutions come from within us, not from outside. Source: |
Foreign Saints Worshipers Conjure African Churches & Mosques https://www.thenews-chronicle.com/foreign-saints-worshipers-conjure-african-churches-mosques/?amp=1 |
FOREIGN SAINTS WORSHIPERS CONJURE AFRICAN CHURCHES & MOSQUES How were Africans indoctrinated to believe the foreigners that destroyed their civilizations and shipped slaves in chains overseas were the saviours worshipped as Saints in African Churches and Mosques? The slave descendant were told how lucky they were to be brought out of Africa, only to burn down Greenwood the Black Wall Street. France actually claimed compensation from Haiti for daring to be the first Independent African country. Though there is more religious tolerance in Africa than any continent, foreigners conjure Africans in the name of Jesus and Mohamed, holy books of Koran, Bible and Torah. We respect and celebrate a variety of religions within our own families. Most of us now believe the only way to heaven is through Jesus or Mohamed. We were warned not to accept madness with religions. There is this innate feeling in humans to bow or worship some superior being, be it God or idol. But for the belief of higher being; immorality, crimes and spiteful behaviors in-between would be uncontrollable in most communities. There are people out there that lack self control unless they are aware of some deterrent in heaven or earth. So religion is one of the necessary tools in a civil society to prick our conscience and prevent inhumanity of man to man. The same tools like the rule of law and order can be and have been abused by those expected to enforce them. Christians, Muslims and Jews would tell us religion has no creed or color. This is true since God is everywhere and God made man in his own image. Therefore, you cannot love God while you despise other fellow human beings. Yet, most Africans think God only exists in the holy lands of Mecca and Jerusalem. So the Bible and Koran preachers encourage us to visit the holy lands if we can in our lifetime. Until we do, many of us do not feel fulfilled. Nevertheless, there are so many Africans trooping to the holy lands, they have to be controlled by special visas because many take every opportunity to visit. We know many of the visits have nothing to do with religion. Some are business related, work or resident visas. Unfortunately, Africans have also been caught for nefarious activities. Some of our girls imported as prostitutes and for slavery. In short, the reason for going to the holy lands has changed over the years. The culture of violence and immoral behavior found within foreign clerics on their victims has surfaced within the last decade. Though suspected, they were swept underground for many decades. The penalties ordered by courts against Churches recently demonstrate these are not Saints but may be even worse offenders than the local religious culture Africans run away from. Sometimes the hypocrisy stinks to high heavens. Even "St. Saviours" can’t save these sinners. However, they would lynch a woman of virtue some charlatan slept with for keeping a holy book under her pillow! Even worse, some of their Islamic scholars justified it. Crusade and Jihad are not past history. Africa that has been rendered weak. After being thrown into darkness for centuries, it still suffers the spill-over of religious wars from the Middle East through Libya. Many African countries have been destabilized by those still fulfilling the order of their prophets. Holy cow! Even the mention of the names of their Saint or holy books has consequences resulting in deaths while shouting Allah is great. When Africans do the same, it is called religious fetish. It is a fact that the old generation learned about the great British Empires before African Empires. But this new generation were taught both African and European Empires. Africans still prefer the influence and touch of those that turned their civilization and religion against them. They now call themselves Christian Right Crusaders and Muslim Jihadists that preach Death unto you. These are the real idols worshippers, human ritualists lynching people that look different from them. So, they subjugate others to slavery and serfdom wherever they encounter or explore other's land. After years of hypocrisy, they are now coming out in their true colors asking for the "good old days" back. Actually, we have come to realize that the religious Right groups justify the separate and unequal situations as the will of God that must be adhered to. The same religions Africans worship and celebrate have been used to subjugate not only their own people but those they consider different from them. They have used God and guns to keep Diaspora minorities in line. It is surprising that Africans that take one another as their brothers' Keepers have turned against their own: killing people, selling land and resources in exchange for vanities and mirrors. You cannot tell the difference between Fulani in Nigeria and Americans' right to carry arms: "A new survey shows that a mere 3 percent of American adults own half of all the guns in the United States." In his majority opinion in District of Columbia vs. Heller Justice Antonin Scalia wrote: ”It (the Second Amendment) is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” The number of foreign religious converts has not only dwindled in their places of origin, Africans priests and Imams are being imported to preach overseas. Trust my African brothers and sisters, they have established their own congregations abroad attracting the fastest growing converts everywhere they can prosper, attracting the wrath of established clerics. However, the only notable African religion venerated as world Saints outside Africa is Santeria, an Afro-Caribbean religion based on Yoruba beliefs and traditions, with some Roman Catholic elements added. Others know the religion as La Regla Lucumi and the Rule of Osa. Santeria is a blend of compromised religion that grew out of the slave trade in Cuba. It had to be disguised so that their slave masters could not think it was an African religion like Haitian Voodoo. Stubbornly practiced as in Haiti, as the first Independent African country in Diaspora.

Defenders of mass murderers try to deflect blame and make nebulous excuses that cannot solve the worst crime of mass murder from occurring again and again. They blame foreign Fulani, immigrants, gangs or mental patients knowing that any crime is detestable in any community. Some are bold enough to even claim that one of the massacres at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in USA, was a hoax. It resulted in a defamation lawsuit won by parents of children killed in the shooting. |
https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/308943/they-armed-insurgents-for-civil-wars-but-blame-mental-patien.html Danjuma, the Fulani wannabe, now wants his people in the Middle Belt to defend themselves against the Fulani he championed as Army Chief. Obasanjo, the Fulani last joker against Yoruba could not believe this is the same patriotic Buhari, the champion of Fulani terrorists. Gen Malu that led the massacre at Oddi got paid back and cried like a baby when his relatives and people were massacred at Zaki Biam. Even Buhari, was shaken by his narrowly escaped when Boko Haram almost got him in Kaduna. What goes around comes around. |
THEY ARMED INSURGENTS FOR CIVIL WARS BUT BLAME MENTAL PATIENTS How can you celebrate gun culture, perpetuate fear, mental anguish and trauma on communities and victims, then turn the table on mental patients as the cause in need of solution? Distraction! We have to accept that there are folks out there throughout the world who believe in the "good old days" when their fathers conquered the rest of their world. So, nobody should be surprised that they demonstrated visceral reaction when constituted Authorities try to curb their privilege to commit mass murderers. It sounds logical that any man must have the right to defend himself. But you cannot use jungle justice, overwhelming and disproportional force within civil society, like a hammer to kill a fly; unless you believe you are at war with fellow citizens. This is when you declare your political opponents, neighbors and other ethnic groups as enemies, then wage war against them. Many of the mass murderers start as domestic violence that went unchecked. We are wondering if Africans have abandoned their culture that we are our brothers Keepers in exchange for an immoral violent culture of a global village. The African saying that it takes a village to raise a child was a lesson to the world. We cannot raise children in the culture of violence and expect a different culture from the days of the Barbarians. It is ironic that mass murderers thirsty for the blood of their victims are using self defense and crimes to justify the rights to strike soft targets by surprised. They kill their human prey unaware. Yet, it is either they have their way or burn down the house. Insurgents weapon of choice is not hunting guns, bow and arrow but expensive high powered rifles like 19mm, 45 acp, MR-15 and MK-47 that can outgun the local Police or many constituted Authorities. We know the children, homeless folks, those driving while Black and mental patients can be shot on sight or in seconds while mass murderers miraculously come out alive after Police chase or investigations. Stop the charade, we know who brag, can accumulate and carry guns, shoot in broad daylight on the street and get away with it. Their victims that have better reasons for self-defense are vulnerable and barely armed as soft targets kidnapped and killed in schools, grocery markets and places of worship. If anyone needs protection to arm themselves, It is not the perpetrators of mass murderers and mental anguish caused on the families of those killed or traumatized. It is the victims they go after with impunity that need protection and prevention as self defense. If you can brag about shooting anyone and getting away with it, kill as many defenseless people as possible, why else would you use a high powered gun for self protection as mass murderers? Defenders of mass murderers try to deflect blame and make nebulous excuses that cannot solve the worst crime of mass murder from occurring again and again. They blame foreign Fulani, immigrants, gangs or mental patients knowing that any crime is detestable in any community. Some are bold enough to even claim that one of the massacres at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in USA, was a hoax. It resulted in a defamation lawsuit won by parents of children killed in the shooting. Nobody wants to be victims of crimes in their communities but to excuse mass murderers and shift the focus on others as the way of distraction until another mass murderer strike again is despicable. Less than 5 percent of mass shootings are committed by diagnosable mental health patients. The Violent Acts linked to Mental Illness are less than 5% according to Research: Wall Street Journal 6/1/2022. Well informed educated and calculated people intentionally create and exploit underclass to use as foot soldiers, peasants and poor to recruit for their causes. But abandon them after use. Appealing to their emotional hearts to gain their trust is part of the calculated plan. They justify their plot with everything including holy books since the poor and helpless will always be with us. There are people on the fringe that have lagged behind in life enticed with immediate gratification like stomach infrastructure, waiting to be recruited by special interest groups in power. They are promised the same success as hard working folks. But they had voted out the Unions that gave them middle class life, good pay that took care of families, cars and houses. Based on employers promises of more money because they did not want to pay Union dues. Other countries can learn from the demise of upward progress of Nigeria to Regional Power in the 60s. What has been demonstrated is that those that ignore or encourage violence at home and within communities have also been victims of their own ignorance. Sometimes, mass killers go after their closest relatives and communities before or after taking their angst outside. We now know that the violence that has already engulfed Nigeria and other African countries were sponsored by leaders just as we see in the so-called most advanced countries. It does not exclude responsibility from the very top, "Oga at the top". We should not be surprised because there were warnings about the calibers of the people we elected, appointed or voted to lead us. Danjuma, the Fulani wannabe, now wants his people in the Middle Belt to defend themselves against the Fulani he championed as Army Chief. Obasanjo, the Fulani last joker against Yoruba could not believe this is the same patriotic Buhari, the champion of Fulani terrorists. Gen Malu that led the massacre at Oddi got paid back and cried like a baby when his relatives and people were massacred at Zaki Biam. Even Buhari, was shaken by his narrowly escaped when Boko Haram almost got him in Kaduna. What goes around comes around. However, as we produce better computers that increase our efficiency, we have also used the same brains to move from bows and arrows to more sophisticated guns. Man did not stop there, we have more atomic and nuclear bombs that can destroy the world many times over than we want. The fear is, we are capable of producing more intelligent robots than we are. The same way we are obsessed with weapons of mass destruction Source: |
Until Nigerians stop seeing success as equivalent to achievement outside, the people of this country will remain stunted in growth and achievement. Who coined shiithoole for the villages or country they come from? Nigerians. People with Nigerian law degrees went for one year masters program that cannot qualify them to practice as lawyers. Others go to Harvard for one year diploma that only increase their pride in Nigeria, not enough to get professional job with Nigerian degree. They are all celebrated at home while those with Canadian, British and American degrees cannot find professional jobs. What is wrong with you? If one in a thousand gets a token job that will not last more than two years, you beat drums at home. Who cursed you or held you from using your brains to create jobs and industries at home instead of waiting for Governments jobs or becoming politicians? No wonder they call themselves Saints and you worship them in your Churches and Mosques. |
